The first three films in the series follow Daniel LaRusso, who learns to use karate for good under the eccentric mentorship of a janitor named Mr. Miyagi. In the fourth and final film of the original series, Mr. Miyagi becomes the guardian of his friend's granddaughter in an effort to steer her away from trouble. A new era introduces new rivals and new characters. In the fifth movie, Mr. Han, a kung fu master, passes his wisdom to his new student, Dre. In Karate Kid: Legends, the two series are brought together when the main character, Li, is trained by both Mr. Han and the original Karate Kid, Daniel LaRusso.
